A Commitment to Serve
20 Million Children by the Year 2020
A Robust Vision Critical to the Future
- What is ACA’s 20/20 Vision? [1]
We must advocate for children, youth, and families. Yes, we are camp professionals, but even more importantly, we are advocates for quality, developmental experiences for children, youth, and families. - The Strength of Many Voices: Children, Youth, and Families Need to Hear Yours [2], by Peg Smith
Today, ACA is possibly facing the most critical need in its history to facilitate a powerful transformation. - Video: Peg's Keynote Address at the 2008 National Conference [3]
- The Power of the Experience [4], by Peg Smith
Those who have experienced camp first-hand or observed the benefits that camp provides others, more often than not, describe the experience as "life saving." - 20/20 Context [5] (Our Preferred Future)
